Guest reviews for Garcinia Leaf

Sumudu - 25/01/2026 16:40:23

"The location was very calm and quiet, surrounded by beautiful greenery, which made the stay very relaxing. The pool was great, the room was comfortable, and the staff were very friendly and helpful."

"Honestly, there wasn’t anything major to dislike. Everything was well managed and met our expectations. The stay was comfortable and enjoyable overall."

Jeroen - 24/01/2026 01:39:00

"The hotel is beautifully located in quiet green surroundings. Away from the busy and touristy centre of Hikkaduwa this place felt like an oasis. The staff is super friendly and made us lots of delicious meals. Our little 2 year old daughter loved the pool and just walking around in the neighborhood. The hotel arranges a free tuktuk per day roundtrip to take you to the city. I would highly recommend this place if you want a genuine Sri Lankan experience"

"The beds were a bit hard, but that is a personal preference"

Rasmussen - 03/01/2026 08:55:20

"We arrived at this little pearl, tucked away from the busy Hikkaduwa, not knowing what to expect — and what a wonderful surprise it was. A true hidden gem, warmly run by Harsha, Dilanthi, and Praveen. It’s not a luxury retreat, but a beautiful “less is more” experience surrounded by genuine nature. We will definitely be coming back."

"Aucun."

"We had a wonderful time at Garcinia Leaf, like always! The team, the food, the nice pool and the clean room are the things that make us come again and again."

"Aucun."

"The staff, they were incredible and couldn’t have done much more for our stay. The hotel was lovely and the rooms were fantastic as was the pool. The hotel is a bit far from Hikkaduwa, make sure you don’t pay more than 700LKR for a tuk tuk there and back."

"Maybe a slightly more of a range for breakfast, but we had was still delicious."

Sanjay - 24/03/2025 14:56:50

"Garcinia Leaf was a gem. It is a beautiful hotel, set away from the busy main streets , instead it was an oasis nestled amongst beautiful trees and greenery, yet a short trip to the beach. The rooms were large and clean and the staff were friendly ,really helpful and responsive. The food at breakfast was utterly delicious and beautifully presented. The pool was gorgeous with a jacuzzi in one corner. All in all, a great stay"

"Nothing"

"Staff was very good. All what we need all we get from them. Thanks"

"I dont know where they get stars!!! There is no normal windows at rooms. Stay like in prison."

Daniëlle - 08/09/2024 15:59:53

"We received a very warm welcome along with some fresh juice when we arrived. Our room was very comfortable, clean and well maintained, along with the fact that it got maintenance every day during our stay (while we were out and about). Our hosts were always reachable and ready to help us with anything we asked. They even helped us rent a scooter at a very reasonable price. They go out of their way to make your stay comfortable and relaxed! The location is wonderful and dreamy with nature all around and you come across little delights like the way they present the towels etc. We were very happy with our stay and would love to come back one day!"

"The wooden chairs near the pool were not in an optimal condition anymore"

"Beatifull area outside of the town. Nice and quiet place with pool, very good people and delicious breakfast"

"Aucun."

Lindsey - 17/02/2024 16:06:03

"We liked everything about this hotel. Very spacious room,comfortable beds hot shower. Lovely terrace. Fantastic pool set in tranquil surrounds. Exotic birds in the grounds. We ate at the hotel which offered a well priced menu and the food was very good. We were initially concerned about how far from the beach it was but its only a 599/700 SLR tuk tuk ride and these are easy to find or thevhotel can arrange. The area around the hotel is quiet and very nice to walk around. If we return we would without doubt stay here again."

"No mosqueto net."
